WATCH: AC Milan's Gattuso denies joining Roma as Lazio clash approaches

AC Milan head coach Gennaro Gattuso dismissed rumours about his possible move to Roma next season.

Italy: Talking to journalists on Friday on the eve of a Serie A match against Lazio that could be crucial in the battle for the Champions League, AC Milan head coach Gennaro Gattuso dismissed rumors about his possible move to Roma next season.

"I am a professional and I owe a lot to this club, so don't believe this kind of stories. It would be foolish and disrespectful to talk about these things and to lack respect to a club which has given me so much" he said.

Against Lazio, who trail Milan by three points but have a game in hand, Gattuso's side will try to snap a four-match winless streak in Serie A, with three losses and one draw.

Their last win was a 2-1 victory at Chievo at the beginning of March.

Since then, Milan lost to Internazionale in the derby, at Sampdoria and at Juventus and drew 1-1 at home with Udinese.
